Winter Solstice 2010

A total lunar eclipse will be visible in North and Central America from 11.41 CET Monday to 12.53 clock clock PST Tuesday 21 December. This celestial event is the first in almost three years.

    Total Lunar Eclipse: The shadow of the Earth (also called umber) completely cover the surface of the moon, so that it is sometimes almost invisible. During the "peak" of Eclipse, the Earth's shadow of the moon as an effect of red-brown (the moon looks like a cheese). Another interesting thing about the natural next event is the day when it falls. Total lunar eclipse on Monday at the same time as the winter solstice (the summer solstice, if you live in the south).

    The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of winter. The sun is visible in the lower part of our sky, because the north pole of the Earth is directed away from him.

    Meanwhile, NASA is using Twitter, some of the planned activities related to the total solar eclipse of the Moon. Tweets Institution:

    "Did you know that it can a lunar eclipse Wednesday night? NASA's online activities and cats, please join us, " and links to an article on the eclipse and information on events such as live chat and share photos on Flickr. You can find more information about the event here.

    I believe that sharing photos is more fun because it give a clear understanding of the Moon 2010, a total solar eclipse. To give you a quick look, here's the video of the total lunar eclipse is prepared for 2008 by Pedro Herrera.
